Do you love the little creatures in the sea? You can find them in amazing Cozumel! Most divers who have traveled to several oceans are familiar with the term, “muck diving”. Muck diving is exactly what it sounds like, diving in muddy, silty substrate which can include coral skeletons and garbage. In such an environment, divers and particularly photographers, can find amazing little creatures and unusual fish. I am not saying that Cozumel has “muck”, but it certainly has shallow dive sites off the shore filled with amazing little critters!
And the rest of these photographs were taken on amazing Cozumel shore dives!
I have done a few shore dives with Mario, of Scuba with Mario. He has incredible eyes, and can find amazingly small critters! Truthfully, my eyes are so bad I can’t find the tiny, tiny stuff even though I wear a prescription mask. I’ve worn glasses since 3rd grade, but in the last couple of years my sight has really declined. I’m grateful when I dive with people who have great sight! I cannot believe some of the animals I saw with Mario…many for the first time!
The moral of the story is: don’t let anyone tell you you cannot find the little critters in Cozumel! As you can see, they are definitely there.

I love them…it breaks my heart to think that if things continue the way they have been going, by 2030 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish.
I went snorkeling in Cozumel and had such an incredible experience! The water was so clear and there was such a variety of fish and other sea creatures.
It is great snorkeling especially when you know where to go
I’ve been snorkeling several times and am always amazed at the beauty that lies beneath the sea. Congrats on your book and it would be a great gift for the holidays!
Thank you Lara!
I don’t usually love them but now I have a new appreciation! Your photos are really impressive, wow. Amazing creatures!
